Yeah, I didn't understand this sentence until about my third read-through. Unless I'm mistaken, it's just saying that for all the elements that were dropped from HTML5, any special attributes those elements might have had were dropped too. Obvious, but only once you understand it! Are there even any attributes that fit this criterion? It would undoubtedly be clearer and more informative to list them off, like: "The 'foo' attribute is no longer defined (since the 'bar' element has been removed in HTML5)." Adam
